Berlin Prequel Gets Second Season

The latest reveal comes ahead of the release of Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, the second season of the Pedro Alonso-led prequel series Berlin. The new instalment is scheduled to premiere globally on May 15, 2026. The franchise has emerged as one of Netflix's most-watched non-English language series.
